Hello Author,
I really like where you went with this Collom Lune.
Your word count was spot on, but at the end of the second line I would suggest going with either, "eye reflects" or "eyes reflect" as "eyes reflects" is grammatically incorrect in a messy way... not a poetic way.
The only other error is in your notes... "there 'are' 3 words..." Don't forget, you're a writer after all!
Your Collom Lune was really nice. I'm looking forward to the birds again.
Susan :)

Those ugly mistakes from cutting and pasting, shame on me 🎶❤️
Comment from Tom Horonzy
I like it and please don't take offense but it seems there are places where I question why? For instance, why past tense for reflected when reflect would do away with the comma.
Additionally, it would ring better to me for I don't recognize the moon as HIS but its night.

Carlie Beth, thank you for kind validation on my Lune.
Comment from Wendy G
I like that format with words not syllables being the focus. I enjoyed your Collom Lune with its emphasis on light and sources of light, and I also liked the alliteration. A very lyrical entry. Best wishes for the contest.

Comment from Mark D. R.
Each stanza can stand by itself, but you crafted a very nice tandem. Selected illustration nicely complements the entire presentation for this contest entry.
I like the Collom poem format. Methinks, elementary students can master it more easily than the 5-7-5 Haiku.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent entry for the Collom Lune Contest. Lunes are one of my favorite forms.
Good word count.
I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.
Good syllables count and connection between lines.
Goodluck

Comment from Thesis
You've presented a unique look at night light and by introducing the Nightingale and describing how nature provides light from the sun to the moon that allows it to see through diminished light is quite a feat. I enjoyed this. Good luck in the contest.

An interesting concept. The moon as a night light, getting its illumination from the reflection of the sun. The harmonious working of the two luminaries display God's wisdom, majesty, and wisdom. Many cannot go to sleep at night without a night light. The moon provides one for free.

The Collom is an interesting poetic form and you have written a beautiful one with "night Lights". The Nightingale is a lovely topic for your poem.
